Dianna's Health - April 2024
Added 2024-04-03 17:30:15 +0000 UTC(Levi typing) Hey everyone, Kyle just posted on Facebook, and I'll link it below.
I don't have a whole lot else to say outside of what Kyle posted. It's still difficult weekly to be honest. But in the recent 2 months I've been able to see Dianna more. A few waves a week, a couple of sentence exchanges back and forth, and the occasional laugh. A few things she's been able to add in her diet have helped the foods taste a little better than bland, so she's been at least enjoying those more. I guess all I'm feeling is that it's been nice to see her again giving a small smile. It's way more than I got 4-6 months ago when she wasn't able to see anyone else at all, and her diet was at a MINIMUM of what she could take.
We'll keep making her foods, taking the occasional photo, and updating you guys as much as we can while they try to get her better. Maybe she'll feel up for more QnA's in a little.
Thank you everyone for the support.

2024-04-24 16:12:17 +0000 UTCSo, so pleased to hear things sound a little better than in the back half of 2023. I’ll keep everything crossed it continues. I have post-infectious fatigue which has triggered MCAS following a different illness (not Covid), and I just wanted to say how much I sympathise with the neuropsychiatric symptoms MCAS brings. I saw on a previous update you get depressive episodes. I get extreme anxiety, agitation, and relentless suicidal thoughts during these spells. Following a strong dose of antihistamines, I’m back to completely mentally healthy and stable. It’s utterly terrifying - I become a different person, one whose mind is hellbent on killing them. I’ve always been more scared of illnesses that affect the mind (e.g. dementia) than physical illness or injury, and that’s even more true now I’m experiencing what they can do. And of course, you try to explain this symptom to most doctors and they then chalk the entire illness up to a mental health issue. *sigh* Since when did an antihistamine resolve severe anxiety and suicidal ideation?

2024-04-18 23:58:34 +0000 UTCUpdate from Kyle: More of the same over here: boredom, suffering, and finding what joy we can. Nothing much has changed, we’re slowly making our way through treatments and hoping for the best each time. I want to try and post a bit more, keep you informed of what’s happening with Dianna. This really feels like an invisible disease- it consumes our lives but there’s very few tests to indicate anything is wrong, and treatment efficacy is random. But we want to do our part to keep this as visible as possible, show the reality of #longcovid and #mecfs Bring more urgency to finding a cure. Thanks everyone for all your support and kind words, they mean so much to us.

2024-04-08 15:50:49 +0000 UTCCould Dianna have ME? Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), is a long-term, complex illness characterized by profound fatigue that is not significantly improved by rest and may be worsened by physical or mental activity. Its causes are not fully understood, and there is no single test to diagnose ME/CFS. Symptoms can vary widely from person to person and may include: -Severe fatigue that is not alleviated by rest -Post-exertional malaise (PEM), where symptoms worsen after physical or mental exertion -Unrefreshing sleep -Cognitive impairments, often described as "brain fog," which include difficulties with concentration, memory, and processing information -Pain, which can be widespread or located in specific areas such as joints without swelling or redness, muscles, and headaches -Sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and other flu-like symptoms -Sensitivities to foods, chemicals, odors, or sounds -Orthostatic intolerance (OI), which is a condition where the body's ability to regulate blood pressure and heart rate is impaired, leading to dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting upon standing or sitting up The exact cause of ME/CFS remains unknown, though it may involve a combination of factors including viral infections, immune system abnormalities, hormonal imbalances, and genetic predisposition. Managing symptoms often requires a multifaceted approach, tailored to the individual's specific symptoms, and may include medication for pain and sleep disturbances, pacing activities to manage energy, and various forms of therapy to cope with the impact of the illness. Research into ME/CFS is ongoing, with efforts to better understand its pathophysiology, develop diagnostic criteria, and find effective treatments.
